Ever find yourself secretly judging someone’s brew-making skills when they offer to make you a cuppa? Like, ‘Hmm, could use a bit less milk…’ That’s paler than a middle aged mans legs at the seaside

  1. Maybe explain to them that they need to put the tea bag in the cup and not just wave it above like you’re saging the air.

  2. Christ on a bike…did the teabag actually hit the water?

  3. that’s the “doing it badly so you don’t get asked again” approach.

  6. This isn’t tea. This is the urine of Casper the friendly ghost. Enjoy

  9. I think the the battery in their teabag has run out.

  10. Peely-wally AF… must’ve wafted the tea bag in the air about 6″ over the cup.

  11. My mum and sister both used to “enjoy” weak tea. Our favourite phrases were “Hot water scared by a tea bag” and “A Julie Andrews” (weak, white, nun/none).

  12. I think the question we’re all missing is why you’ve accepted this cuppa? Alternatively why did you allow a cuppa to be made on your behalf without giving any directions on how you would like it made.

  13. Is there any tea in that, or did he just use brown water straight out of the tap? Southern Water produce browner liquids that that.

  16. All the time.. I tell them to picture a biscoff biscuit (you know, the ones that you get with a coffee) and I want the cup of tea no paler than that.

  17. How to offend a British person in one photo. That’s an abomination.

  19. Thé au lait. Where a tea bag is wafted somewhere near a cup or hot watery milk. Disgusting.

  21. I judge and will always ask for tea when offered a choice of tea or coffee. A shite tea is a lot more palatable than a shite coffee. 

  22. Step 1: offer to make a cuppa. Get points.

    Step 2: make it really badly. Lose points.

    Step 3: never have to make it for them again. Win.

    Risk: international ridicule.

  24. How’d you like your tea?

    Like Skegness in October, please.

  27. If the UK hadn’t changed divorce laws to no-fault, that right there would be grounds enough to rip up the marriage certificate.

  29. Personally my thought would have been, ” what have you done ? SCARED it with a tea bag ? “

  33. Maybe the true importance, respecting individual preferences and variations in taste when it comes to brew-making skills. It is essential to appreciate the effort and gesture of someone offering to make you a cup of tea, regardless of personal preferences or observations. Possibly It is always best to express gratitude for the offer and enjoy the tea graciously.

  34. Do they not like you? Have you grievously offended them?

  39. That’s fortnight tea that. It’s too bloody weak

  40. Mrs Doyle, this is a very milky cup of tea. In fact, is there even any tea in it at all?

  41. I already am used to always say not to ruin my brew with milk.

  42. This looks like what my little sister would serve to us when she was 12. And she was old enough to know better then!

  43. I know people who drink their tea like this on purpose.

    Obviously, I don’t let them make me tea.

  45. NOW THAT IS AN ABOMINATION OF A TEA, I feel sick just looking at it. whoever made it needs a five day ban from the kettle and the kitchen

  46. Are they trying to get rid of all the milk Pat Mustard brought round?
